2K Pro forgotten Admin Password

The only answer that I have is if you have another user account set up with administrator rights you can go into the control panel, users and passwords, highlight administrator and click on set password, this will allow you to set a new password.

There is a utility made by Winternals called ERD commander. It comes with many utils to help repair NT 4 and W2K systems. One of these utils allows you to boot up off of the setup floppies and gain access to the system through a "limited DOS mode". From here you can change the password of ANY account on the local machine. ERD does NOT rely on you having a repair disk. ERD simply modifies the setup boot floppies (3 disks for NT, 4 disks for 2k). It will also create and additional diskette that contains the utils. You then simply enter the correct syntax to change the command and your done. Reboot and log back in!
